[2] In collaboration with the Belgian Olympic Committee (BOIC), Belgian athletes participate in world and European championships and every four years in the Paralympic Games, the Olympic Games for athletes with a visual or motor disability.

The BPC's tasks: Since 1952, professors Pierre Houssa and Albert Tricot of the Center for Traumatology and Readaptation at the Brugmann Hospital in Brussels have been using sport as a means of readaptation with the support of Victor Boin, the then chairman of the BOIC.

Pierre Houssa had picked up the idea that year when visiting a British institution in Stoke Mandeville.

The Belgian Sports Federation for the Disabled (BSVG/FSBH) was founded in 1960, with Victor Boin as its first president, and Pierre Houssa as one of its vice-presidents.

[4] In 1977 it was decided to split the BSVG/FSBH into a Dutch-speaking league, the Vlaamse Liga Gehandicaptensport (VLG) and the French-speaking FSBAP-WB.
